<p>My preference (if I were a motivated and career oriented student) would be Udacity as it also enhances my personal brand with a Udacity <strong>Nano-degree.</strong> Students who make this chioce need to very disciplined about time management and energy management, to ensure that they balance their academic work load as well.</p>
